I've just had a look at r6344 and there seems to be an extra argument in jQuery.event.add but that function hasn't been modified (yet?). And maybe it's been mentioned before but if you're really adding this feature why not do the same with $.each? Hopefully no one uses the internal `args` argument and it would be at least as useful as for events.
